In an airship, a frame, and wings secured thereto in banks disposedtransversely across said. frame in diil'erent horizontal planes, eachwing having vertical transversely disposed guards to prevent lateraldeflection of the air on the backs of the wings, said Wings havinginclined upper sur- 4face and provided with an elbow upon its underface.

3. In an airship, a frame and wings secured thereto in banks disposedtransversely across said frame in diierent horizontal planes, cach winghaving thereon a downwar'd deflection presented to the front andextended rearwardl beneath the body of the wing forming e bows upontheir under 'faces to direct air beneath said wingeand impact itforwardly 0x1 the back of said d6- lection, said wings having inclinedupper l surfaces and upwardly extended means upon their upper faces onopposite sides, to retain vacuums on the upper faces of the wings and toprevent lateral deflection of the air on the backs of said wings.

4. In an airship, a wing having thereon a downward deflection presentedto the front and extended rearwardly beneath the body of the wing todirect air beneath said wing and impact it forwardly on the back of saiddeflection, said wing being reinforced within its front terminal andupon its upper face provided with vertical guards at opposite edgesthereof.

5. In an airship, a wing having thereon a downward defieetion presentedto the front and extended rearwardly beneath the body of the wing todirect air beneath said wing and impact it forwardly on the back of saiddeflection, the terminal of said wing having a transverse reinforcetherein, said wing being provided with vertical guards at opposite edgesthereof, the upper face of the wing` being inclined downwardly andrearwardly.
